what do u look for in a host.

dontmaimyourself
I would like to what all the other users a trap17 look for when chooseing a host.

I think one of the most important aspects is reliability, some host are down too much.

But I have found no such problems with Trap17.

Some hosts that claim unlimited bandwidth and storage have so much down-time that you can never get to your site and it might aswell not be there. saying that some are as reliable as trap17, I also looked for mysql support for my phpbb forum.

What I look for in a host is honesty, decent body, cute face, and smart.

I look for ftp, reliability, php. "Unlimited" is almost always never unlimited at many hosts.

Bandwith, uptime, and speed, and ftp (but any good host always has ftp) I think are the most important. I usually don't have files that take up much space, so storage isn't a problem. File size restrictions are annoying, especially if you happen to have one file that's slightly over the limit >_<.

    Yesterday my host request was approved. Today i was making the website and i tried to host a forum.
